The beginning; or How this all got started
Ideas for a cockpit have been bouncing around in my head for years, and the furthest that they ever got to becoming reality was a few sketches and talk. I started saving money for a purpose I hadn't decided yet, and a few months down the road I decided that the money was for my cockpit. I had always had the drive to build one, but never the funding.
A Primer; or Getting to Know your Captian
Call me Renic. I've been playing videogames since I got my first NES for my fifth birthday, and I've been wanting to have a custom cockpit for space and flight sim games ever since I picked up my first joystick. The idea has been floating around in my head for years, and I've finally started on the path to total in-game immersion.
